Chapter 981 -981: Caleb Mamet is Exposed
Every day when Xaviera Evans got up, Caleb Mamet was already dressed in the dining room, waiting to accompany her for breakfast before work. Sheâd never considered what he had been doing during that time, whether he was lonely. Reflecting on this, her rage dissipated instantly.
âCaleb, you work late into the night every day and get up at six in the morning. Lack of sleep can be bad for your health. No matter how busy you are, you need to take care of yourself!â Xaviera looked at him anxiously.
Caleb nodded in agreement.
Xaviera remembered Sean Priceâs conversation with the butler, guilt filling her heart, she quickly reassured, âItâs okay. From now on, I wonât leave you alone. I will get up early to go jogging with you.â
Caleb slowly looked up, a luminescent spark in his profound eyes, he smiled slightly, âOkay.â
Seeing his somewhat sorrowful expression, Xaviera felt a deeper sense of remorse, âI can certainly wake up early. Whatever it takes, I will be there with you.â
Caleb looked at her gently, his gaze filled with love.
Xaviera confidently stated, âFour a.m. or six, it doesnât matter. Caleb, youâre always so busy. The least I can do is stay by your side. I wonât let you feel lonely.â
âFour a.m.?â Steve Price happened to walk in, surprisingly exclaimed, âWhy would you get up at 4 a.m., President Mamet? You usually donât wake up until after seven, right?â
Confusion spread across Xavieraâs face. Didnât Caleb wake up at six? Sometimes he woke up even earlier. Why was Steve saying that he woke up only after seven?
Steve Price continued, âLonely? After he gets ready in the morning and has breakfast with you, he goes to work where hundreds of people are vying for his attention. How could he possibly be lonely? If anything, he should be grateful heâs not overwhelmed!â
The truth dawned on Xaviera. Caleb didnât rise early every day. He occasionally woke up early to exercise. He wasnât as lonely and pitiful as she imagined?
Caleb put down his chopsticks, his face falling.
Steve Price, oblivious to the imminent danger, laughed unrestrainedly: âThe President gets up so early just to wake up his wife, right? And when he fears his wife might get angry, he plays the lonely card to win her sympathy!â
Caleb slowly lifted his gaze, his voice tranquil, âSteve Price.â
His eyes were calm right now, but the gentler he looked, the more Steve Price feared him. His lips slightly parted, âAre you free?â
Steve shook his head, âNo, I have to accompany you to a meeting!â
âItâs good enough if I have Sean Price accompany me in the meeting. You have a more important task, head to the mountain area right now! Be back in a week.â
Steve Price was on the verge of tears. Why was he casually sent to the mountain area every now and then? The work there is trivial and extensive. How could he return within a week? Was he expected to forgo sleep and work non-stop? Just because he happened to say the truth? Was the President being too sensitive?

At ten oâclock, Xaviera reported on time to Libanan University. After finishing work, she was about to leave when she ran into a familiar figure. Xaviera didnât want to respond, so she walked past him. However, the man confronted her, saying, âXaviera, you are still so rude, you say nothing even after you see me.â
At this moment, Nidya Hughes was full of resentment, âI went to the Lowen Clubhouse early this morning to find you, but those people wouldnât let me in. Iâve run all the way here to find you!â
With a look of indifference, Xaviera thought: Nidya Hughes had gone to the Lowen Clubhouse, but the butler hadnât told her. Probably he knew she disliked Nidya Hughes and didnât want to disturb her because of someone insignificant. But who knew Nidya Hughes would have found her here.
âDid you watch Zoraâs live stream? Did you take in anything she said!â
Xaviera raised her eyebrows and chuckled, âShe said so many things, how would I know which one you mean?â
Nidya Hughesâ face was ashen as he suppressed his anger, âOur family is holding a banquet at home, you need to return. No matter what, I am still your mother. Itâs only right for you to attend the Hughes familyâs banquet. No one would gossip about it. Just come back with me now!â
âOh!â Xaviera responded indifferently. However, what she said next nearly made Nidya Hughes spit blood. With an innocent face, she looked at him, âBut I donât want to go to the banquet! Iâm afraid that if I sit at the same table and eat with you, I wonât be able to keep my food down.â
Nidya Hughes staring in shock, mouth agape, he hadnât expected Xaviera to utter such a statement. Looking at Xavieraâs disregard, Nidya Hughesâ anger flared up.
âWhat did you say! You, you scoundrel!â Nidya Hughes shouted shrilly.
